Transformed is the word that comes to mind. This study faithfully led me step by step through sin, self, to the Savior and to the cross. I grew up knowing all the ’’truths’’, but this systematically took me to the end of myself and then to the cross. It offered helpful feedback via thought provoking questions and my own personal counselor who faithfully walked alongside me. God’s timing was perfect and my heart was ready to dig in. A well of joy has sprung up where deep pain was residing. I am full of hope and free from burden. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Sometimes we need a bit of guidance as we wade through the wasteland of pain and that was what this study was: a guide to gently unearth any hint of self-protection so that the healing balm of my Savior’s sacrifice could be applied. The thought provoking questions and the truths that sprung forth along with the encouraging and life giving words from my counselor were all part of my healing. I am beyond thankful for this study and the sacrifice of those who made it possible!
